lyrics

It finally ended and I fell into a heap in the corner,
Nobody was there to pick me up the third time.
And everybody’s saying “Look, I’m sorry but I told you”,
Well, I don’t wanna believe that you’re no longer mine.
But you’ve gotta learn from your own mistakes and nobody elses,
If it takes 2 years for me to learn it’s someone else’s turn,
That’s a lesson I have to learn.
But don’t break my heart and expect to get off scot-free,
I’ve got a guitar, an acid tongue and an elephant’s memory.
I wouldn’t let anybody else do these things to me,
It’s dangerous to love someone unconditionally.

But you’ve gotta learn from your own mistakes and nobody elses,
If it takes my life for me to learn you’re a parasitic germ,
That’s a lesson I’d like to learn.

And when I choose the right trail I hope I know,
But I move like a snail – really slow, really slow, really slow.
